I got one of these a couple weeks ago with Dell credit that I had. I wanted to set it up as a failover for my home cable connection, which feeds into my Netgear Orbi-based mesh network.
I spent hours trying to get it to behave as a failover device when I unplug the cable Internet, and was not able to get it to work. However, when directly connected to a computer or serving as a primary modem for a network, it's terrific. I'm going to try a dual-WAN switch to see if I can get this to perform the way I want.
The control panel is somewhat light on configuration options. It's powered by common USB-C, and you can power it off a battery pack.
A great pairing if you can get in on the $10/mo 30GB postpaid hotspot plan deal from T-Mobile - an affordable backup solution or primary solution for RV/travel/etc.
An alternative product is the GL-X750V2[amazon.com] - it's more of a full-featured wireless router with VPN features though. Amazon was clearing out refurbs of these for $20-25 a few weeks ago.

I think the way it does failover is by plugging your the ethernet plug from your ISP into the WAN plug on this one, and the LAN plug into the WAN plug on your WiFi router.
The failover is automatic, if it can't reach The Internet from the WAN connector, it will reach through LTE.

Yes, thanks, I tried all permutations of this, it just didn't work with my setup. Going to try deploying a TP-Link ER605 box at the head of the pack to see if it can do what I want. Seems like a thing that many consumers would want nowadays, surprised it's not easier to set up.

Edit: from a quick Google, it does seem like it will work..
